Re: [Matplotlib-users] clean way to build subplots with sharex only on same colomn and sharey only on same row?

[Chao Y. <cha...@gm...>]

Hi Ben,

I tried it.  Installing the development version is much easier than I
expect.
and the subplots() function works very well as expect. it's too awesome.
thanks a lot.

Chao
